And a lot of people were happy with the results, even if you were not. There is nothing wrong with being rich. Especially here in America. People care more about how you acquired your wealth vs how much wealth you have accumulated. If you want to live somewhere where being rich is looked down upon, go to communist China. Xinnie the Pooh loves intimidating and locking up billionaires to show that the CCP is number one. Sounds like your dream utopia. Or maybe you can revive the Soviet Union and relive the dream.

This is why nominating another Obama proxy (like his wife) would be just as dumb as installing Joe Biden. WAKE UP- this dumpster fire of a presidency is not finished by a long shot in damaging the nation. We have endured only one year and have three to go!!!!!

China has a tremendous abundance of available housing, but so much of it is in the middle of nowhere and is literally crumbing. Neither one of these situations is desirable. I don't need an expensive home to be happy, but I also don't want to live in a house that is going to fall apart faster than I am.

If you really want your mind blown, look at where interest rates have remained since 9-11-2001!!


Whatever is going on, its much larger than bickering between political parties. The low interest rates, IMO, are the only thing staving off a major crash.

Both Democrats and Republicans will choose Wall St. Neither side represents the people anymore. Neither side will make life better for them. A strong economy wins votes. They know this.

Interesting site to garner accurate data on stats for Political party and contributions.

opensecrets.org

Found a wealth of information by party- by geographic .

Weird that a poster earlier said the Democrats are the supporters of the wealthy- corporate mongers. Ohh how wrong that was.....
